Notes

The first mention of the saloon at 211 East Main Street is in the 1887 city directory. Nicholas Kramer is listed as the owner. In 1905 Harvey Conner is the owner. At one point in the early 1900's, John Eckert and Sons offer stoves, furnaces, hardware and Queensware from this location. A few years later George C. Vail and Sons, Furneral Directors and Furniture Dealers, are here. Later the Murphy Department Store is in the building. It has at times stood vacant and various businesses have been at this address. It has, at times, been combined with other addresses. There is no listing for it in the present directory. Sources: Madison Courier; Historical Files; City Directories
